Sovereign Individuals of Capitalism (Rle Social Theory)
ISBN: 9781138788015 / Angielski / Twarda / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this sequel to their acclaimed The Dominant Ideology Thesis, the authors develop their analysis of the social and cultural underpinnings of modern capitalism. They confront a central assumption of western culture: namely, that the individual is sovereign, and that capitalism above all other economic forms depends on individualism. These ideas have an unbroken history from Alexis de Tocqueville to Milton Friedman. The paradox of the modern world is that the moral emphasis on the individual is contradicted by the actual organization of economy and society. The authors...

Between Work and Leisure aims to debunk the prevailing myth that work and leisure are separate and mutually antagonistic spheres of life. Stebbins shows that a close relationship between leisure and work is positive, offering people the possibility of finding joy in work just as they do in leisure. Occupational devotion, as Stebbins defines it, is a strong and positive attachment to a form of self-enhancing work, where the sense of achievement is high and the core activity, or set of tasks, is endowed with such intense appeal that the line between work and leisure is...

Thinking Through Creativity and Culture: Toward an Integrated Model
ISBN: 9781412854016 / Angielski / Twarda / 330 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Creativity and culture are inherently linked. Society and culture are part and parcel of creativity's process, outcome, and subjective experience. Equally, creativity does not reside in the individual independent of culture and society. Vlad Petre Glveanu's basic framework includes creators and community, from which new artifacts emerge and existing artifacts are developed. He points to a relationship between self and other, new and old, specific for every creative act. Using this multifaceted system requires that researchers employ ecological research in order to capture the... Creativity and culture are inherently linked.

When does inertia presage decay - and when does it promise immanence and rebirth?

ISBN: 9781845196080 / Angielski / Twarda / 195 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In 1938, the anthropologist Norman Tindale gave a classroom of young Aboriginal children a set of crayons and asked them to draw. The children, residents of the government-run Aboriginal station Cummeragunja, mostly drew pictures of aspects of white civilization boats, houses, and flowers. What now to make of their artwork? Were the children encouraged or pressured to draw non-Aboriginal scenes, or did they draw freely, appropriating the white culture they now lived within? Did their Aboriginality change the meaning of their art, as they sketched out this ubiquitous colonial imagery?...

Modern Turkey and the Armenian Genocide: An Argument about the Meaning of the Past
ISBN: 9783319049267 / Angielski / Twarda / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A number of highly informative books have been written about what is often called the "Armenian Genocide." This book, written by a political scientist, offers a different approach: It doesn't concentrate on the past; it concentrates on the present, and shows how this past event is perceived and discussed today. The idea is that the arguments deployed in this debate, those which allege that what happened amounts to genocide and those which deny this claim reveal something about cognitive structures of present agents, such as the Turkish government, as well as about the meaning and use of the...

Reform Der Kommunalverwaltung in England Und Deutschland: New Public Management Zwischen Reformrhetorik Und Reformergebnissen
ISBN: 9783658050870 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 314 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Bemuhungen zur Reform der offentlichen Verwaltung wurden seit den 1980er Jahren mageblich durch das Leitbild des New Public Management gepragt. Die damit verbundene hohe verwaltungsreformerische Aktivitat fuhrte jedoch nur bedingt zu den angestrebten Ergebnissen: Einigen positiven Effekten wie z. B. einer verstarkten Leistungs- sowie Kunden- und Burgerorientierung stehen durchaus substanzielle negative Auswirkungen wie z. B. hohe Transaktionskosten und eine verminderte Steuerungsfahigkeit gegenuber. Empirische Befunde weisen demnach darauf hin, dass eine hohe Reformaktivitat nicht...

A Nation of Outsiders: How the White Middle Class Fell in Love with Rebellion in Postwar America
ISBN: 9780199314584 / Angielski / Miękka / 404 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. At mid-century, Americans increasingly fell in love with characters like Holden Caulfield in Catcher in the Rye and Marlon Brando's Johnny in The Wild One, musicians like Elvis Presley and Bob Dylan, and activists like the members of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. These emotions enabled some middle-class whites to cut free of their own histories and identify with those who, while lacking economic, political, or social privilege, seemed to possess instead vital cultural resources and a depth of feeling not found in "grey flannel" America. In this...
